Governor Tim Walz, "The way our nation moves forward is not through hate. It is not through violence. It is through humility, and grace, and compassion.

Padilla: The President, VP, and their allies have continued to call all the protesters out there insurrectionists. Yes, this is the same man who provoked an actual insurrection at our capitol on January 6.

BREAKING: The man suspected of shooting two Minnesota lawmakers and killing one of them has been caught, a source says.

This is so disturbing..

Minnesota! You did yourself proud today 💔❤️‍🩹

Sen. Amy Klobuchar dined with Melissa Hortman, a Minnesota lawmaker and decades-long friend, just hours before she and her husband were shot and killed in what authorities are saying was a politically motivated killing. “I wish everyone had known her like we knew her,” Klobuchar told POLITICO.

Minnesota’s flags will fly at half staff in honor and remembrance of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman. She woke up every morning determined to make Minnesota a better place, and she will be greatly missed.

Netanyahu’s illegal unilateral attack on Iran risks a full-blown war. These strikes directly undermine the U.S. diplomatic efforts to address Iran’s nuclear program. Talks were planned for Sunday, but Netanyahu chose to attack. We must not be dragged into another Netanyahu war.

Trump’s parade will cost taxpayers up to $45 million. For example, with that money, we could expand health care & food assistance for veterans. A taxpayer-paid birthday gift to Trump sounds like government waste to me.

This is outrageous!

🚨🚨🚨 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did 🚨🚨🚨

Seven-hundred Marines have completed training and will soon work alongside National Guard forces in the greater Los Angeles area, according to the Northern Command, which released a statement Wednesday saying they would start their work “within the next 48 hours.” Follow our live coverage here:

RFK Jr. is purging the experts who keep us safe. This isn’t reform—it’s an assault on public health. I founded the Democratic Doctors Caucus to fight exactly this anti-science agenda.

He seems to be the only Democrat who understands that.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

They are way out of line. No way. A human being carrying another human being. They are sick. They need to be held accountable. #Pinks

Breaking News: The U.S. military is deploying a battalion of 700 Marines to Los Angeles amid ongoing protests to immigration raids. Follow live updates.

All 17 members of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's outside panel of vaccine experts will be retired and replaced, US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr said reut.rs/43NiGJb

www.commondreams.org/opinion/u-s-... not just on the path we are not that far from them succeeding as the democracy we grew up with is being destroyed piece by piece by REPUBLICANS. if you want someone to blame come 2026 it is them.

👏👏👏👏

Not satisfied with massive reductions to Medicaid, GOP lawmakers have Medicare in their sights too. MSNBC, do better, Social Security isn’t an entitlement— we’ve paid into it our entire adult lives. #RepublicanMurderBill

The dumbing down of America continues… 🫤

Some remarkable & dystopian photos of the crackdown on protests by Trump troops and LAPD over the weekend. All taken by LA-based photojournalist, Ethan Swope.

DT needs a distraction…

Sanders warns of authoritarianism after Trump deploys national guard to LA. Senator says the future of the US ‘rests with a small number of Republicans in the House and Senate who know better.’ www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Now Hegseth is saying that the active duty Marines at Camp Pendleton are on alert to come in if the National Guard isn’t enough. The U.S. government is ready to unleash our own military on civilians. It is definitely time to be frightened about what is happening here.

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

SNAP funding supports families, local farmers, and small grocery stores. In Little Falls, I met with Mayor Greg Zylka and local leaders at Coborn’s for a great discussion on strengthening these programs to ensure everyone has access to healthy, affordable food.

LAPD STATEMENT: “The protests remained peaceful… without incident…”

I have to admit that I’m curious what those “very serious consequences” would be. apple.news/ANAs6rqkLQP6...

LOS ANGELES: Stay off the streets tonight. Stay home. Stay safe. Tom Homan says the National Guard might be deployed — and I’m telling you, he wants violence. They’re baiting us to react so they can escalate. Rule #1: Never protest at night. That’s when the worst happens—under cover of darkness.

What country is this?

Remember family hikes, summer camps, and fishing trips? Trump’s budget slashes funding for parks and environmental protections, all to hand billions in tax breaks to the ultra-rich. These aren’t just cuts. They are a betrayal of the places we all love.

31 years! Happy anniversary, Gwen. The kids and I are so lucky to have you in our lives.

Friday’s NY Post cover is pure gold

“He’s not a strongman. He’s not even a leader. He’s a man throwing a tantrum because the world won’t revolve around him.” Trump’s allies are turning on him—Musk, Barrett, Powell—and he’s losing his grip. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/trumps-emp...

Let’s Not Lose Focus….

So it’s not “Big & beautiful”?

No matter who you are or who you love, you are welcome here. Happy Pride Month, Minnesota!
